Bio Sketch
Polona
Oblak lives and works in Ljubljana, Slovenia. For 40 odd years Polona
thought she had no talent for writing. Then she discovered haiku. Her
haiku and occasional tanka are widely published and a handful appeared
in anthologies such as The Red Moon Anthology and Take Five.
L1 establishes the theme of the poem while Ls 2&3 function like, in T.S. Eliot's terminology, an "objective correlative" for the mood or inner state of the narrator.
